Plants are treated with one or more acids, which are condensation products of glycolic and/or L-lactic acid. These acids also increase the concentration of chlorophyl, increase the rate of new plant formation when plants are propagated by tissue culture, decrease the amount of added nutrients ...
Under natural conditions plants feed themselves. Water makes up 80 to 90% of their weight, and the assimilation of carbon dioxide from the air provides a high proportion of the rest of the tissue material. Three elements only—carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are concerned in this: the other 1 o...
Tissue cultured plants are the next generation in aquatic plant culture. Grown in a lab, tissue cultured plants are contained in a germ free gel, complete with plant food and 100% free of pest snails and algae. Tissue culture is often the best way to buy small foreground varieties of plant...
C.To monitor signs of volcanic activity. D.To prepare for a space mission to Mars.2. What do we know about Mauna Loa? A.It has warm climate and various plants. B.It is 2,500 meters from its base in the sea. C.It is the second largest mountain on Mars. D.Its wild environment ...
During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun to drive a reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen. The sugar produced is then converted to energy in the form ofATP, through the same processes used by our bodies to processcarbohydrates. ...
Scientists have proposed several theories to explain dinosaurs' extinction. There's not much physical evidence for some of them. For example, one theory is that dinosaurs were allergic to flower pollen — flowering plants and bees evolved together during the late Cretaceous period. However, flowering...
The main difference between acultivar and a variety is that a variety will produce seedlings with the same traits as the parents, whereas cultivars do not retain their traits unless they are propagated vegetatively (cuttings, grafting, and or tissue culture). Most plants sold in the horticultural...
Asexual reproduction of flowering plants: In the asexual mode of reproduction, plants give rise to new plant structures without the fusion of the male and female reproductive parts and hence there is no formation of seeds and fruits. In plants, it is carried out in the following ways: ...
Category: How Plants Work “Save the planet, (learn how to) plant a tree” I like catchy memes as much as the next person. They’re easily memorized and passed on. But “Save the planet, plant a tree” has always bugged me for two reasons. First, and probably most importantly, this...
Thanks to DNA and cloning technology, horticulturists now produce in the neighborhood of 100,000 affordable hybrid orchids [source: Natural Garden]. Orchid cloning, a form of tissue culture, is a sophisticated method used to reproduce orchids identically. This technique involves taking a small ...
